Tholanji Pona Manasu Lyrics Translation – Jonathan Titus | Santhosh Kumar Viswanathan
Santhosh Kumar Viswanathan writes of a heart that is ‘Idinchi Odanji Irukku’ or completely shattered. The lyrics describe life’s happy years as having ‘Sarinchi Adanchi Kidakku’ or collapsed. Jonathan Titus frames this desolation with a sense of irreplaceable loss.
Kannum Neer Thengiya KannumMy eyes are filled with tears, just pooling there.
Kaayam Aaratha Kaayam NenjilaThere’s an unhealed wound inside my heart.
Ennom Naan Engiya EnnomThese are the thoughts I’ve yearned for.
Kaayam Alutha Aagayam MeelalaThe sky that wept from the wound hasn’t returned.
Irukki Pidicha ManasuThe heart I used to hold so tightly,
Idinchi Odanji IrukkuIt’s completely broken and shattered now.
Sirichi Irundha VayasuThe years of my life that were full of laughter,
Sarinchi Adanchi KidakkuThey’ve fallen down and lie still.
Aaainthe Alinthene NaanumI’ve searched and lost myself completely.
Oruthiyum Illai OruthanukkuThere isn’t anyone left for this man.
Thanitheevil Ennaipol VaanamThe sky is like me, stuck on a ‘lonely island’.
Inimel Itharkku Thunai EtharkkuWhy do I even need a companion anymore?
Kannum Neer Thengiya KannumMy eyes are welling up with tears.
Kaayam Aaratha Kaayam NenjilaThis wound in my chest just won’t heal.
Ennom Naan Engiya EnnomI’m haunted by the thoughts I once craved.
Kaayam Alutha Aagayam MeelalaThe sky that cried hasn’t found its way back.
Irukki Pidicha ManasuThis heart I held so firm,
Idinchi Odanji IrukkuIt’s fallen apart and smashed to pieces.
Sirichi Irundha VayasuThe prime of my life that was happy,
Sarinchi Adanchi KidakkuIt’s collapsed and remains quiet.
Aaainthe Alinthene NaanumI’ve withered away while searching for answers.
Oruthiyum Illai OruthanukkuThere’s no woman for this man anymore.
Thanitheevil Ennaipol VaanamThe sky is desolate, just like me on a ‘deserted island’.
Inimel Itharkku Thunai EtharkkuWhat’s the point of having a partner now?
Unnal AzhuthenI cried because of you.
Unakkaga AzhuthenI cried specifically for you.
Unnal Ennai Naanum MaranthenI’ve even forgotten who I am because of you.
Neer Indri Vanthalum VaazhvenI could survive even if there was no water,
Nee Indri VaazhvenaBut how could I ever live without you?
Kulirila Nadungina NeeWhen you were shivering there in the cold,
Un Kulirukku Naan Tha TheeI was the fire that kept you warm.
Tholainji Alugura EeThis soul is lost and crying out,
Karaiyoram KalanguthadiFeeling so troubled by the water’s edge.
Tholainja Pona ManaseOh, this heart of mine that’s gone lost.
Tholainja Pona ManaseThe heart that has wandered away.
Tholainja Pona ManaseMy soul that has disappeared.
Tholainja Pona ManaseThis poor heart that is gone forever.
Kannum Neer Thengiya KannumMy eyes are filled with tears, just pooling there.
Kaayam Aaratha Kaayam NenjilaThere’s an unhealed wound inside my heart.
